LA Schools Cut Screen Time for Kids | California News

from California News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

LAUSD is launching a bold new policy this school year: no screens for first graders and younger during school hours, with all elementary students under limits by November—and middle/high schools following soon. Once a tech pioneer, the district now aims to curb digital overuse—even as teachers scramble for guidance amid budget-driven reliance on screens. Devices will be monitored weekly to track usage and refine rules, not block access. But the real challenge? Replacing screen time with meaningful, engaging alternatives—without leaving students or educators behind. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
